(57) This invention comprises an attachable in-ear hook to an earphone. The ear hook portion can attach to the earphone in a variety of ways, including through the use of snap features on the ear hooks in collaboration with a protrusion located on the earphone housing. Another attaching means can include where the housing is attached (permanently or not) to the ear hook and the housing is attachable/detachable to the body of the ear-phone. These attaching/detaching means allow for quick and easy installation and removal of the ear hook.
